Book Review: THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY (T. Stewart)


What would YOU do if you opened a newspaper and saw a large, block-type advertisement that said:

ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?

I know that I would be immediately disappointed that I hadn't seen this ad when I was a kid. Then I would think, maybe they mean child at heart...

And I would call anyway :)

But that's just the way I am.

Luckily, that's also the way that the children in Trenton Lee Stewart's world are, too. I say lucky because it becomes very clear, very fast that Mr. Benedict needs their help.

This is  a WONDERFUL book. Full of puzzles and mysteries that readers can figure out along with Reynie, Kate, Constance, and Sticky. For fans of Roald Dahl's books, FANTASTIC MR. FOX, THE BFG, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH, and CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, this book is a beautiful gem.

To read an excerpt, click on the title of this post :)

Enjoy!
